Chapter 89 The most powerful thing is not foreign objects, but people's hearts
Chapter 89 The most powerful thing is not the external object, but the human heart
Compared with the two powerful and outrageous magic weapons that were as shocking as the world, the gods were even much inferior to the previous one million gold coins. But this does not mean that this thing is useless--in fact, Egil still likes this thing quite.
A small gadget that can translate all languages of all animals and even plants in the world. A large druid ring is now worn on Egil's right hand. It is basically black, without any light, and without any gemstones. It looks so inconspicuous. It is like a ring made by blacksmiths with scraps of scraps. No matter who, at first glance, will not associate it with the powerful magic ring. In fact, Egil was a little hesitant, because this ring is obviously inconsistent with his own emperor's identity.
So in the end, Egil hid the ring close to his body instead of wearing it on his fingers--of course, after that, he gave the girls who were taking care of his daily life so that they wouldn't accidentally throw it away like garbage.
"Anyway, there will be some useful places." Egil thought so. He also began to check the remaining rewards.
Upgrade tech ten times, and 4 times buildings.
This reward is more precious than the previous swords. It is different from armor and sabers that can enhance personal strength. This can enhance the overall national strength of the Norman Empire. If used well, it can greatly accelerate the development of the empire.
In terms of technology, Egil thought a little about it, and then upgraded agricultural technology three times, fertilizers, agricultural knowledge, and agricultural technology. Although handicrafts, manufacturing, and commerce are the foundation for a country to become prosperous and strong. However, if agriculture is not supported and raw materials are provided, then industry and commerce will be like water without a source. It is completely unstoppable.
In addition, the development of agriculture can also drive population growth. Today is not the era of the future population explosion in the world. In today's world, population is still one of the absolute elements to measure comprehensive national strength - the population is equal to soldiers, workers, farmers, merchants, and a huge number of productivity. A country with a large population is equal to a big country. This is the consensus of the vast majority of people living in this era.
To be honest, the Norman Empire still seems to be a little wide and sparsely populated. Especially after occupying Eastern Europe, this thinness appears even more serious. In Eastern Europe, there are often hundreds of miles of wastelands and no one cultivated swamps. Although the empire has implemented a comprehensive immigration policy, the pirates of the empire are also working very hard to capture slaves from the Mediterranean coast. Recently, they have expanded their business to sub-Saharan Africa. They have transported many strong black slaves. However, the personnel to develop Eastern Europe are still slightly insufficient. Therefore, it is very necessary to improve the agricultural technology of the empire.
There were seven chances after this. Egil hesitated for a moment, and then clicked twice in a row, such as the seemingly slightly outdated armed forces.
"I have spent three opportunities here... Now there are only four opportunities to improve technology. And I can't say that one or two scientific accumulations will occur. The price is really heavy. However, if we follow the current scientific research progress, it may take another ten years to improve the technology level of the crossbow... Forget it, let's fight."
After thinking about this for a while, Egil decided to select crossbow technology again. Without expectation, scientific accumulation appeared and continued to work harder.
"Eggilled." Egil snorted lightly, then unswervingly clicked on military crossbow technology again--and then it was still a systematic prompt of scientific accumulation and continued efforts.
"God bless..." Although the evil ones do not believe in any gods, Egil, who adheres to pragmatism, will not be stingy with a prayer at this time.
So Egil once again chose military crossbow technology. The two consecutive bye behaviors increased the emperor's psychological pressure a lot. If he continued to work hard this time, Egil might lose control and smash things and kill people.
"Military technology, military crossbow technology upgrade, you can now create a special military crossbow that has never appeared in history to enhance your military strength. Good luck."
After hearing such a system prompt, Egil breathed a little relieved, and after seeing the introduction of this so-called "special military crossbow", this emotion further turned into joy.
"This is a new special heavy crossbow with a complete steel structure. Its crossbow arms are completely made of steel. At the same time, it adopts the crossbow box design and the pulley set of pulley crossbows. The crossbow box is equipped with a pull rod. Each time it is pulled, a crossbow arrow in the crossbow box can be pulled into the crossbow trough. After that, it can be launched. A total of eight steel wire crossbow strings can be stretched and turned through two arranged on the left and right sides of the crossbow arms, a total of four pulley sets. Therefore, it can be launched eight times in a row. The overall winding only takes one time. The shooting speed is greatly improved. The steel structure and the crossbow used in the pulley set are similar. The range and lethality of this crossbow exceed the general crossbow of nature. With armor-breaking arrows, this crossbow can effectively kill within a distance of one hundred meters. The heavy chain armor can be broken within an eighty meters, and even the light plate armor can be broken through within a distance of thirty meters."
Egil was amazed at the introduction of this heavy crossbow. Such performances are not much different from modern rifles. It is simply crushing effect against early muskets. No wonder Ourulai would say that. However, although the efficiency of this crossbow is amazing, it consumes a lot of materials and is very complicated in production. In addition, because it adopts an all-steel structure and has quite a lot of accessories, a heavy crossbow such as this weighs twelve kilograms. It is not very convenient to use.
"But compared with its power, these are just some minor problems that are not worth mentioning." Egil murmured to himself. In a trance, he seemed to see an array of thousands of Norman warriors holding special crossbows--the scene where the other side, the cavalry and infantry, were shot into sieves shortly after the charge. And when the system asked him to name this crossbow, Egil said proudly: "The crossbow is angry. Just call it Egil's wrath!"
